Fredrik Backman
Fredrik Backman's novel about a fifty-nine-year-old Swede who has decided he is done with the world, and the neighbours who keep interrupting him. The language runs from plain domestic Swedish life to some genuinely hard words, which is why it is worth studying a chapter at a time rather than all at once.
